Catered Chalet La Luge

What is a catered chalet holiday at Chalet La Luge?

The British have been taking catered chalet holidays for decades.  Over the years it has become more refined.  Our clients from other countries do not often know quite what to expect or what is included, so here is what we offer at Chalet La Luge.  We think it makes for a great ski holiday experience and also summer holidays too!

We take bookings for the whole chalet and for rooms on an individual basis – we have 6 en-suite bedrooms  – usually 12 guests but we can accommodate up to 16 people if we install the optional bunk beds into 2 of the bedrooms.

It’s very sociable.  Everyone eats together at the big square table.  If rooms have been booked on an individual basis we typically will have some couples, or small groups of friends / family, perhaps 4 travelling together, so the table may be a mixture of nationalities, ages and backgrounds, but all with one thing in common – a love of the mountains!  We also love having a big group of friends or family who take all the rooms in the chalet, or want to have the chalet just for themselves.

We own and run Chalet La Luge and pride ourselves on our excellent service, great food and quality accommodation.  There’s no shopping to do, no cooking or washing up, we’ll take you to the slopes / lifts & resort centre every morning, take you to the rental shop… it’s a happiness holiday! Get out on the mountain, afterwards relax in the jacuzzi and sauna, have a drink in front of the log fire, watch a film (NetFlix, international cable films, hdmi, or old skool DVD)

Much less work than a rental chalet, much more fun than a hotel.  It’s really like being on holiday !

The day starts with breakfast for everyone (normally at the dining table, but with social distancing in mind we will arrange things to conform with current legislation/advice) The boot warmer will be running, so your ski boots will be dry and warm ready to put on.  Dan will take you to the lifts/slopes in his 4×4.

Mini will be in the kitchen preparing a cake or biscuits for your return.

Beds will be made, rooms and bathrooms cleaned, the jacuzzi chemical levels checked and adjusted, sauna water topped up…. all ready for you.

We, (Dan & Mini) will usually go skiing in the afternoon … maybe we’ll see you out on the mountain somewhere….

Come back to the chalet whenever you want, the free ski bus stops 100m from the chalet. After your day on the mountain, relax in the hot tub with a drink, in the sauna, in the cinema room, in front of the blazing log fire, with a book, chat with us, with the others.  Enjoy yourselves !

The evening meal is usually served at 19.30 but if there are younger children we will happily serve a suitable simpler meal beforehand. Maybe they will watch a film or TV upstairs before heading to bed.

Dinner starts with an amuse bouche. The meals vary enormously with dishes from around the world. All dietary requirements catered for, notably we have many guests who can’t eat gluten, some of whom have stayed on several occasions.  Then we serve the starter, the main course, cheeseboard, and dessert.  Please help yourself to tea, tisane or coffee at any time. There is an ‘honesty bar’ – a fridge stocked with beers, wine and soft drinks, please note your drinks in the book provided and we’ll charge you a small fee at the end of the week.  If there is something particular you would like to drink (prosecco, or tonic perhaps, to go with the gin you’re bringing with you) then let us know and we can make sure we have it!

We serve selected white and red wines during dinner, which are included in the price.

We take one night off a week, normally Wednesday, and we will explain the restaurant options to you, and make reservations as necessary. The kitchen is not available for you to use – you’re on holiday, remember !!
